Expert Sleepers ES-9 has become a huge staple in my eurorack modular synthesizer system both for studio recording and for live peroformance. I have had lots of people ask me how I use the configuration tool and how I have it all set up. So, here is a quick video explaining a couple things that I found helpful when starting my jouney of hybrid modular and computer performances using Bitwig as my mixer.
Sections:
00:00 - Intro
01:44 - Setting up I/O in Daw
04:20 - Configuration tool basics
04:50 - DC Blocking and what it means (DC coupling inputs)
06:34 - Setting up Headphone output for DJ Style Cueing / PFL
08:45 - Cue Mix setup in Bitwig
08:59 - Outputs are all DC Coupled!
10:05 - Tiny Jam

Nice vid! I don't think there can ever be enough ES-9 demystification videos! It can do so much, but I guess with great power comes great big configuration tools! So outputs 7/8 are used to support the expanders like the ES-5 and the others that expand from that. You miss out on them in terms of audio, but with the expanders, you can add A LOT of CV outs... gates/triggers, envelopes, LFOs, any type of control voltage from Bitwig. You just gotta use the expert sleepers silent way plugin to encode all that info into those channels, then the expanders decode it all and send it to the appropriate jacks. So for instance right now I have my ES-5 expander sending 8 gates to Assimil8or, and still have all the outputs on the ES-9 available. I also leave my DC blocking off for most of my outputs, so that I can send CV out, mainly because I don't have enough expanders for CV yet. Then in my Bitwig rack template, I just add a high-pass filter on each channel with a very low cutoff to remove the DC component, name it "DC Blocker", and just disable it if I'm using that channel for DC CV.

Thanks so much for the heads up on the expanders! I should have rtfm about that before speaking. That’s super cool! Of course they’re not just wasted jacks, Os would never! lol

Output 7 and 8 are the expanders I think.

@alx-106 4 месяца назад

Correct, I just don’t use em so didn’t think about that in the moment.

hell yea dude, the breakdown we all needed!

Hey man can you recommend the es-9 for pretty good audio quality? Have you tried the es-3/6? They sound ok but they aren’t as clean guess as my interface.

@markbooth 4 месяца назад

Learnt all this the hard way like you lol. Interesting how you are using the headphone and main outputs as I ignore them and use an aggregate device to my main sound card so it’s easy to switch between Eurorack and normal computer mode. I can see why your way is great for live performance though. Nice.

@alx-106 4 месяца назад

Nice that's cool too!

@chargrproduction Месяц назад

All seems logical to listen and read and watch, but anything I change on configuration tool does not change anything, and if relaod/rquest all settings are still in default state. What I'm missing :D?

@Qwiv 4 месяца назад

Best recommendation for the ES9 is to connect it to AUM.

@Grummycanader 4 месяца назад

I thought outputs 5/6 were for an Expert Sleepers expander.

@alx-106 4 месяца назад

Yeah I didn’t look into it before shooting so didn’t say things correctly. my bad. I really wanted to just let people know about the 3.5mm outs being 9-16… it’s also spdif not adat… I’ll add some notes to the video.

@ChristopherStoppiello 4 месяца назад

@@alx-106 7/8 are for the expanders actually. In the video you said you don’t know that those outputs serve any purpose. Their purpose is sending signals to an ES-5 and the like.

@alx-106 4 месяца назад

@@ChristopherStoppiello another testament for reading the manual before I make a video lol.
